They had considered other options, but the results were cruel. Gu Chenjun and his wife both died. The price was already high enough.

If the result is still the same after fighting for it, it would be better not to let Gu Jinhe know the truth from the beginning. At least she can live a carefree and happy life for a few years.

Instead of knowing the truth and facing the imminent death, it would be very painful if you cannot bear it.

Second Aunt still couldn't accept it: "We kept it a secret from Jin He before. Now that she knows, will she hate us?"

Gu Chenxiang put the jade token back into the brocade box and said, "Jinhe is too sensible. Even if she hates us, she won't do it to us."

Yes, even if Gu Jinhe felt unhappy, he would not show it openly and would still treat them the same as before.

But when facing the old lady, she would deliberately show a bad face and not act as close as before, because she was too disappointed.

If they didn't tell the truth, how would they know that Gu Jinhe couldn't accept it? Giving her the choice for her was a sign of distrust in her, and it was also putting themselves on a moral high ground, predicting a person's life and death.

While having breakfast, Gu Jinhe heard about the scene of Han Sheng coming over last night. He was followed by five or six people. Those who didn’t know him would have thought he was some protected animal.

Liu Shuya met him with the calligraphy and paintings, and they checked the amount of money in front of several people.

It’s not that I don’t trust Han Sheng, but it’s better to count things like this in person, so that if there are any problems later, I won’t know which link has the problem.

This was also proposed by Han Sheng himself. He had been very nervous these past two days. He was not afraid that he would not be able to keep it, but he was worried that someone around him would not be able to resist the temptation.

Liu Shuya and Shuhua checked the amount, and it was exactly 50 million, no more, no less.

Han Sheng and several of his colleagues stayed at the Rose Courtyard for dinner in the evening, during which they discussed the kidnappers who had kidnapped Tang Jiashuai's three children.

These people did not confess the Murong family in front of the police, nor did they say who their boss was. The bald man had one broken leg and the other was shot, and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

He was the focus of police interrogation, but this man was very cunning. He refused to admit that he had someone above him and only said that he was the criminal leader of child trafficking.

However, this matter is no secret among the major families, and it is just the tip of the iceberg of the dark side behind the Murong family.

The aristocratic families also exchange information with each other. As for the special existence of the Murong family, they have been observing it for not just a day or two, but for decades.

I have long known that this is not a simple family, and their apparent low profile is just a way to cover up the truth.

Since the bald man and his men refused to admit that they had any relationship with the Murong family, there was no way to determine the nature of the matter.

Even if Han Sheng wanted to investigate the Murong family, he had no evidence, and even if he investigated privately it would be difficult to find any useful information.

After all, several major families have been observing the Murong family for so many years. If they really find something, they may have evidence that can take down the Murong family in one fell swoop.

Changes should have been made long ago, instead of watching the Murong family baring their vicious fangs again and again.

Gu Jinhe put down the cup of milk, looked at Xu Cheng and said, "The Fu family will handle this matter, and it will not appear to have anything to do with the Murong family. Also, remind Han Sheng not to investigate the Murong family privately. He has no background or connections, so he will be targeted."

In his previous life, Han Sheng was confronted by the Murong family because of a kidnapping case, but he had no background and was full of passion. How could he possibly defeat a towering tree?

"I'll remind Han Sheng." Then Xu Cheng asked again, "When are you going to go to the Fu family?"

Gu Jinhe thought for a moment and said, "Let's set it for the day after tomorrow."

In fact, she shouldn't have come to the house in a short period of time after something like this happened, but Fu Huaiyuan solved all her worries for her, and the house arrest was over. He took over the kidnapping case, and Gu Jinhe had nothing to do with it.

Two days of rest is enough. If she doesn't come to visit again, Fu Huaiyuan might come and arrest her personally.

Of course this is a joke, and Fu Huaiyuan is not the kind of person who would take things too seriously.

Liu Shuya sat aside and tilted her head to look outside the door. She had not seen Wu Lu since early morning and no one knew where he had gone.

She didn't feel comfortable asking directly. After all, she was a guest and it was not appropriate for her to ask about the host's affairs.

What if Gu Jinhe arranged something for Wu Lu to do, and she asked what it was, wasn't that interfering in Gu Jinhe's private affairs?

This would be a very annoying thing.

Gu Jinhe glanced at Liu Shuya and found her eager look a little funny, but soon she thought of something and quickly put away the smile on her face.

There is a time bomb like the Murong family hidden around her, and she doesn't know when it will explode. Liu Shuya is too close to her, and she doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

But the current situation of the Liu family really does not allow Liu Shuya to return to the Liu family, so they can only take it one step at a time.

If the Murong family really took action against the people around her, Liu Shuya would probably be the first to bear the brunt, because she was the eldest daughter of the Liu family, a daughter of an aristocratic family, not an ordinary person.

The best way to deal with a person is to get rid of the most capable and closest person around him first.

This is the best form of revenge.

Liu Shuya turned to look at Gu Jinhe, and seeing that she didn't look too good, she asked, "Are you too tired? Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"

Gu Jinhe slightly curved his lips and said, "I've rested enough. If I rest any longer, I'll feel numb. The weather is nice today. Shall we go out for an outing?"

"Ah?" Liu Shuya was a little surprised: "Going out for a picnic?"

Gu Jinhe: "My confinement is over. You have been at the Gu family for so long and I have never accompanied you out. Going to the theater to watch plays every day will get boring. Why don't you go out for a walk and change your mood? I can accompany you now."

Liu Shuya had not recovered from her previous injury, and on the other hand, she was worried that someone was watching her, so she didn't want to go out. A few days ago, she went out to watch a rowing competition and encountered a kidnapping case, which really affected her mood.

Even though Tang Jiashuai was rescued in the end, that feeling was hard to get over for a while, so Gu Jinhe planned to take Liu Shuya out for some fun.

Staying at home all the time is not a way to relieve your mood. Even if you are a person who likes quietness, you cannot stay at home all day without going out, as this will make you out of touch with society.

Liu Shuya showed a bright smile on her face. She knew that Gu Jinhe was doing this for her own good. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go on an outing."
